Late and Missing Assignments:
Parents are encouraged to check their child’s assignments and grades through the Parent Portal.
If an assignment is turned in one day late, the grade will be lowered 5 points.
If an assignment is turned in two days late, the grade will be lowered 10 points.
If an assignment is turned in three days late, the grade will be lowered 15 points; however, the lowest grade that will be posted in the grade book is a 50.
If a student does not turn in the assignment after the third day, a zero (0) is posted in the grade book.
A student will receive a grade no lower than a 50 for a serious attempt at the assignment, even though the actual grade may be less than that. This is to encourage the student to do the homework.
Absences and Make Up Work:
We recognize that a child may be absent from school. Students who are absent are responsible for making up all classwork and homework assignments. Students are permitted two days for each day absent to make up any missed work. If an absence exceeds three days, parents may contact their child’s guidance counselor and request work. Teachers will set up due dates for multiple missed classwork and homework assignments. This allows for timely completion and teacher discretion, which may include importance of the assignment and relevance to current work.
